Mike is the acdb member of the month. He joined acdb as an Intern in 2013, became Lab-Technician in 2022. He declared "I enjoy working at ACDB because I always get the opportunity to do research about flora and some specific fauna". @UJBotany @UjZoology @UJScience @UJLibrary
We welcome Balbine Alindekon as intern in molecular biology at acdb @BalAlindekon
It was great having you @Barnabas_Daru at acdb, your home, to share the exciting works you're doing on functional biogeography informed by harbarium data.
Happy birthday to Ms Nthabeleng Nhlengethwa, ACDB member of the month. Nthabeleng is a PhD student interested in the relationship between plant diversity and wildlife health in the Kruger National Park. She combines eDNA, machine learning and modern statistics in her research.
We are thrilled to announce the visit of Dr BDaru from Stanford University to ACDB on March 3rd, 25. He is a plant ecologist with special interest in biogeography. He will give a seminar on “Historical plant interactions from herbaria”.@go2uj @Barnabas_Daru @UJBotany @UJLibrary
